WALRUS: Reberrus 2: The Score.

Reberetta

What is Walrus?
Walrus is a game wherein you select music, & other people judge your choices. Standard Walrus usually has 1 host who selects all the categories, & a bunch of people submit songs (1 per category) & the host judges all the songs in each category.

Why Am I Doing This?
Sado-masochistic tendencies.

What Kind of Music Am I Into?
Rolf Harris Didgeridoo Instrumentals: The Conceptual Boxset (if you haven't heard it, you haven't lived).

I'm doing something sui generis. First of all, the scoring won't be the usual format, but I'll leave those details for later. 

Below you will find 6 categories of movie scenes -none of them are the ending of the film- and you'll be familiar with most. Your job is to find a song suitable for the movie scene.  

RULES
1. The song doesn't have to be the exact length of the scene.
You may submit a lengthy song for a short scene or vice versa. If there's a particular segment of the song that you are offering as the soundtrack, inform me.

2. The full song will be judged on its own merits too.
So you could just submit anything, but I'd prefer if you did not send me just anything off the cuff. Top marks will go to those who make an effort and try to match the music to the visual medium.

3. Be original
Duplicate and/or predictable entries will not gain you a win in this Walrus - and don't steal any pre-existing ideas that are out there because I have Google and I know how to use it!

Tougher when you decide to make a theme out of your entries :pac:

Rikand

"try to match the music to the visual medium."

"predictable entries will not gain you a win"

That's where its tough.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Irish Aris

ShaneU

ShaneU

Yeah when I knew what was coming I just closed out of it. I'm not into that kind of stuff

The Lost Boys is a must-watch movie.

Arghus

Interesting.

It's the best film ever. In the world. Ever.

RasTa

In. All my entries where designed to be stopped when the video clip ended. Hard finding songs to match the runtime of the video clips.

Great idea. Best one yet.

Reberetta

Eight entries with 10 days to go.

On my radar, will get pm in the next few days Rebe.

Reberetta

Eight days to go, closing midnight next Friday.

I'm happy with eight entries, but others are welcome to join.

I haven't begun to listen yet and I've arranged it so I've forgotten who submitted what for unbiased listening purposes, apart from one entry which was themed.

Reberetta

The suitability will be scored out of 5, the song out of 10, the whole out of 20.

e.g.

5/5
7/10

17/20

I'm hoping that's logical maths.

Just over a week left to enter.

I'm going to begin listening later today and reveal will commence shortly after sign-ups close.

Still five days left for others to PM a list.

Reberetta

Impressed with the efforts in the first two categories, the third not as much, but that could change with another listen!

I thought two song submissions were terribly unsuitable on first glance. I don't know what those two were smoking. :P

Still open for entries.

Reberetta

The original video is asking for age verification so here is no. 5 again, cued up from where the original began if I recall correctly.

5. On The Moors

American Werewolf In London (1981)

Reberetta

I've listened to the music on its own and I have to say a lot of it isn't to my liking. Currently in the process of scoring and I haven't seen this many zeroes since I saw a picture of Elon Musk's paycheck, so expect humiliatingly low scores, as is the hallowed tradition of Reberrus.

Nothing personal of course.

Still open for a couple of days.

I went with a few off beat choices here so I'm expecting to score low, but I have no regrets

Reberetta

Closing midnight on Friday. Plenty of opportunity for a Walrus win for any newbies considering a punt.

Ectoplasm

Been meaning to do this, with a lot of thought in etc.

Night before it's due rush job it is!

Last chance saloon, 24 hours remaining.

Reberetta

Important announcement from the ruler of planet Reberrus:

There will be two bonus points on offer!

1. One bonus point for the best song, that I had not heard before, from all six categories.
2. One bonus point for the highest scorer in the suitability category when all six categories suitability scores are tallied up.

Hopefully this will go better than the bonus points in my last game.
